5 Flowers for Valentine’s Day that Aren’t Roses

Valentine’s Day is coming up, which means the price of roses has quadrupled. It feels like a total waste of money to me considering the very next week you can buy them for way less so let’s discuss other flowers you can buy for Valentine’s Day. I’m going to talk about flowers that are in season. You’ll need to check with your local florists as far as if they’re available and at what price. In some areas, I’m looking at those with snow in the forecast for the next few days, these may still be pricey.

1. Dahlias

Okay, I’d be remiss not to mention these consider this is The Dahlia Scene. They’re gorgeous flowers, and I can promise you that they are gorgeous.

2. Gardenia

Doesn’t it look almost like a rose?

3. Sunflowers

They’re bright and sunny.

4. Hydrangeas

These are amazing little balls of happiness

5. Gerber Daisy

These come in so many amazing colors.

These are just some of the alternatives to roses this Valentine’s Day. I recommend calling your local florist and finding out what they have that won’t cost you an arm and a leg. Arranged roses will cost you $85 for a dozen during this holiday season. You could normally get them for $65. Prices vary depending on the florist and your general location, but it just seems like a bit of a waste to me.

What are your favorite flowers? Are they available this season?
